Trivia / The Sifl and Olly Show

• Breakaway Pop Hit: If you haven't heard of the show, you've probably heard of this.
• Corpsing: A lot of the show is improvised, so there are often parts where the actors chuckle at themselves and each other. Rather than cut this out, Liam Lynch just moves the puppets to make it look like they themselves are the ones laughing. A particularly notable instance of this is "Baby for Gravy", they keep flubbing the tongue-twisting lines, and end up bringing the song to a halt because they can't stop laughing.
• Screwed by the Network: The show aired two seasons. The third, un-aired season is available on DVD and through YouTube's video-purchase feature. Then it came back as a 5 minute long parody video game review show on Machinima and then Nerdist.
• Sleeper Hit: The song "The United States of Whatever," which first appeared on the show in 1999, suddenly became a big radio hit as a novelty song in 2002 when Liam Lynch released it as a single.
• Throw It In!: Matt Crocco and Liam Lynch frequently stutter, cough, or start laughing while voicing their characters, which is reflected in Liam's puppet work (which is recorded separately from the audio).
